Kinda like it, as the moment I have a less powerful rig in my lounge I use for steam streaming from my gaming PC upstairs, this would take up less space... But I also am able to use that lounge PC to access my movies and music on a NAS, so if this is purely a Steam Stream box, I'll pass.

inb4 PCuck defending, I also have every machine from this and the last console generation. Expect Wii-U, because fuck Nintendo.

>>285476915If you have a laptop, use steam in home streaming, If you have an android phone, look up kinoconsole.You need either an mhl adaptor or a chromecast but it's do ableThe only lag is the chromecast, and I played dying light like that decent enough

>>285477837Drilling holes in my floor isn't viableAlso using my pc with a controller from a couch is terribleSure, using steam couch mode does the job, but then you're stuck with using wireless controllers/KBM and that depends on if it has decent enough range

>>285476915Dont buy this, get that 60 bucks USB dongle sized computer the gooks are making, it runs windows and its powerful enough to run fucking DaS2 on low settings, or HL2 on max settings, it will also stream from your main desktop because its a fucking computer, it will run steam and you can use the stream function of itall for 10 bucks extra

>>285477837>$10 for only 3 ft of HDMIhttp://www.amazon.com/Twisted-Veins-Adapter-Supports-Ethernet/dp/B00BEW9BBW/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1425431005&sr=8-16&keywords=hdmi+cable25 ft for under $10or are you one of those dumbfucks that buys diamond-plated anti-virus HDMI cables

>>285478241>it runs windows and its powerful enough to run fucking DaS2 on low settings, or HL2 on max settingsWhat's the point?The whole idea is that I use the PC I already have to play gamesI'd only use it to stream, so why spend 10 extra dollars for an inferior option?

>>285477559Not him, but I have a chrome cast, I use it to stream movies/shows, and I think it's fucking terrible. It lags and has incredibly low FPS, and my computer is pretty good so it can't be that.

If the steambox can stream better than the chromecast then I will definitely be purchasing one.

>>285478819>complete media box that can and will play anything with any codec under the sun, run light games locally and over all better OS for a bit more is an inferior optionHolly shit valvedrones do exist

>>285479740>To see how well Bay Trail plays games, we loaded “Torchlight II,” an action role playing game, on both the reference slate and an ASUS tablet with Clover Trail. At 1366 x 768 resolution, the Clover Trail tablet provided a jerky, unplayable 10 frames per second, a rate which dropped down even lower when we got into a battle

It's also useless at playing games, one of the advantages anon was saying it had

>>285479869> And it doesn't solve the issue of having a keyboard and controller too.

>>285480108Something that can do only one thing does have less value than something that can do more than one thingBy being a small console with the streaming capabilities, the PSTV (or even any other small console that can stream from something else) does have more value than just a streaming box

>>285476915>Looks a lot like my Vita TV.It's the PlayStation TV with better port placement. Having the HDMI cable in the center was absolutely retarded. That said, at least the PlayStation TV came with decent length cables.
